This performance is

The Seat Next To The King

Produced by Minmar Gaslight in association with The Theatre Centre

September 1964. Behind the doors of a public washroom in a Washington D.C. park, two lives linked to two of America’s most important figures collide when a white man seeking sex meets a black male stranger. Steven Elliott Jackson’s bold and affecting piece—the winner of the 2017 Toronto Fringe Festival New Play award—explores issues of race, sexuality, masculinity—and the cost of reconciling each to two disparate human beings with a shared innate need.
“NNNNN… an extraordinary production.” – NOW Magazine
